[VOLUME 1: SHADOWS OF THE BLADE] In a world split between the blinding Sun-Citadel and the obsidian Midnight Palace, Lyra is an elite "Light-Bringer" assassin dying from her own power. Sent to kill the immortal Shadow King, Malakai, she discovers a horrifying truth: her "holy" magic is a poison, and the only cure lies in the arms of her enemy. When their souls are fused in a forbidden 'Soul-Bind', they must choose between their kingdoms or a love that could shatter the world. Together, they trigger the "Eclipse," destroying the Great Engine and ushering in the Age of the Grey. [VOLUME 2: SHADOWS OF THE STORM] The war for the throne is over, but the war for survival has just begun. Mina, Lyra’s younger sister, has awakened as the world’s first 'Storm-Caller'. With golden lightning in her veins and no one to guide her, she is a walking time bomb. Fleeing into the lawless "Fringe," Mina encounters Jax—a mysterious, brooding survivor with secrets buried in the old world's ruins. As the peace Lyra fought for begins to crumble under the rise of new, darker factions, Mina must master the storm inside her. In the ruins of the old world, she will discover that the "Grey" is not the end of the story—it’s the beginning of a much more dangerous storm.
